69 Limmy

68 Theatre Uncut

Plays for todayLeading the resurgence of political drama, Theatre Uncut (run by founder Hannah Price and co-artistic director Emma Callander) emerged at the right time to catch the austerity zeitgeist.

67 Vox Motus

Silent but deadlyCompletely ditching words for full-on visual theatre, Vox Motus’ strongest production to date, Dragon, was an all-ages delight. Their design skills complemented the dynamic physical theatre of the international cast, proving that theatre does not need words to be eloquent. (GKV)

66 AJ Taudevin

Theatre queenBefore curating the Tron’s F-Word week of feminist theatre, AJ Taudevin showed her ability to engage with serious political issues in Some Other Mother. Her collaboration with Kieran Hurley, Chalk Hill, debuted at A Play, a Pie and a Pint and was produced by Thick Skin as a multimedia extravaganza in the Fringe this year. (GKV)

63 Good Press

Independent spiritsThe Mono-based gallery slash bookstore continued its good work, providing a physical space for local artists to tout oddball and beautiful wares, and a treasure trove for zine fans.
